He says this when he spawns:

*Klaven Mortwake wildly flips through the pages of a large tome.*"The sweet irony -- Stormwind forces cut down in defense of their city, only to rise and fight alongside the Brotherhood as instruments of destruction.""And should one die, two shall rise!"*Klaven Mortwake shuffles through the books.*"Now where did I put the Venture Company formulations?"

and that's it. lol I think it's neat to see what all the NPC's say and what they add to the storyline.

Well, he's BACK in the Blizzcon 2018 demo! He's at the top of the tower in south-eastern Westfall. Given players are limited to level 19 and he's a level 23 elite guarded by other 22 elites, there's not much chance of taking him down. But, maybe with a big enough group it could be done. Happy hunting!

He certainly does still exist; he's at the top of a tower (hint hint) and the guys lower down in the tower drop NOTHING. He is level 23 elite now. I havent found what he dropped because he killed me just before I killed him....

He dropped a Blue BoE item and a green BoE item for me, Thorbia's Gauntlets was the blue item.

Klaven Mort is still there, I kill him alot. He normally drops silk cloth and one or two silver. But sometimes I get some really nice stuff. I sold a 2h axe I got from him for 10g. so ya he's cool

Playing a 60 Druid, I was grinding out some Stormwind rep by doing low level quests and I found this guy down in a tower (coords: 70, 74) in a place I'd never been before, even on a human character. So I went up into the tower to do some exploring and came across this NPC. He dropped about 3 silver and nothing else so I looked him up here to see what he's all about. Given that the loot on the list above has a journal that's a quest item, I'm assuming he's for a quest. Lovely deduction there, right? But where does the quest start? Hm....

He appears to be for a rogue quest. Similar to the tower near Sludge Fen in the Barrens.

Correctomundo.

The journal you get from the Rogue Quest implies that he has some sort of weakness, possible making him soloable by lower-level rogues. I'll try out a few things.

A lucky ambush got him down to about 80% (@ 22). I got him down below half health before vanishing so he didn't splat me. With his counterpart in the Barrens ambush does something like 50% damage, so I'm assuming this isn't his weakness.

After the vanish CD had expires, I tried opening with a garrote to see if that had any special effects. It didn't. After that I tried a couple of finishing moves with SS, none of which helped get him back down to half health. I'll see what effects Feint and Rupture have (if any) before calling it a day.

EDIT: He's bugged up right now, refusing to take any damage while continuing to dish it out. If anyone has any info on the effects of rogue-specific abilities on him then it's be great.

It's worth noting that apart from both blades being poisoned my gear isn't great at this point, but I could probably take him down if I felt particularly like breaking out a potion, blowing a couple of CDs and trusting a large part to luck.
